THE CRIMEA.—According to the Russian despatches reported via Ber- lin, nothing of importance had occurred before Sebastopol up to the 4th. Despatches from Lord Raglan and General Canrobert have been received,

as well as the letters of the journals. Numerous reinforcements both to the French and English had arrived ; and it was estimated at Constantinople, that during the first fortnight of December 30,000 addi- tional troops would be added to the Allied force. Among the British arrivals notified from Balaklava, are the Ninety-seventh, Third, Four- teenth, and Sixty-second Regiments, and a large number of detachments. The bands of the new regiments awakened Balaklava to life on the 18th November, and there was quite a festival in that slushy place. The rain- falls have been heavy; the camp, the roads, the trenches, are all mud or water. Hostities were suspended on both sides at the latest dates.

One fighting exploit is recorded. The Russian riflemen had established themselves in deserted huts and caves on the left of the British attack, causing the troops in the trenches great annoyance, and taking the ad- vanced French works in reverse. Lieutenant Tryon, of the Rifle Brigade, an officer distinguished in the Caffre war, was directed to expel the enemy. This was done at midnight on the 21st, after some fighting, and the loss of Lieutenant Tryon, shot through the head. As will be seen by Lord Casualties in the Naval Brigade from 7th to 13th November. Killed-1 officer, (Mr. Kerslake, Mate, Rodney) ; 3 seamen. Wounded-1 officer, (Commander Burnett, Queen, slightly) ; 14 seamen.

Raglan's despatch, the Russians repeatedly attempted to retake the post, but failed ; and it has been connected with the left attack by a covered way. The works on the right and in the rear have been rapidly constructed, and mounted with guns. A good many ship-guns have been landed from both the fleets, and heavy mortars have been brought from Malta. It is hoped that the batteries on the extreme right will be able to'touch the Russian ships.

The Russian army was partly in the valley of the Tchernaya, occa- sionally threatening Balaklava ; and partly, it is believed, at Baktehi- semi. The videttes on either side are still within sight at Balaklava.

[FROM THE GAZETTE EXTRAORDDZARY, DECEMBER 11.]

Lord .Raglan to the _Duke of Newcastle. "Before Sebastopol, November 23. "My Lord Duke—The Russian advanced posts in front of our left attack having taken up a position which incommoded our troops in the trenches, and occasioned not a few casualties, and at the same time took in reverse the French troops working in their lines, a representation of which was made to me both by our own officers and by General Canrobert, a detachment of the First Battalion Rifle Brigade, under Lieutenant Tryon, was directed on the night of the 20th to dislodge the enemy ; and this service was performed

most gallantly and effectively, but at some loss both in killed and wounded, and at the cost of the life of Lieutenant Tryon, who rendered himself con- spicuous on the occasion, was considered a most promising officer, and held m the highest estimation by all.

"The Russians attempted several times to reestablish themselves on the ground before daylight on the 21st; but they were instantly repulsed by Lieutenant Bourchier, the senior surviving officer of the party, and it now remains in our possession. "Brigadier-General Sir John Campbell speaks highly of the conduct of the detachment, and of Lieutenant Bourchier and Lieutenant Cuninghame ; and he laments the death of Lieutenant Tryon, who so ably led them in the first instance.

" This little exploit was so highly prized by General Canrobert that he instantly published an ordre general,' announcing it to the French army, and combining with a just tribute to the gallantry of the troops the expres- sion of his deep sympathy in the regret felt for the loss of a young officer of so much distinction.

" Nothing else has occurred since I had last the honour to address your Grace.

" The weather is again very bad, and steady rain is constantly falling. " I enclose the nominal list of killed and wounded at the battle of Inker- man, and a return of the casualties that have occurred in the trenches to the 20th instant.

" I have, &e., &tamale."

Lord Raglan to the Duke of Newcastle. "Near Sebastopol, November 28. "My Lord Duke—In the despatch which I addressed to your Grace on the 23d instant, I reported the gallant conduct of a detachment of the First Bat- talion Rifle Brigade, and its occupation of an advanced position which it con- tinued to retain, notwithstanding the repeated efforts of the enemy to re- establish themselves upon it. "On the night of the 22d, and on the following morning shortly before daylight, the Russians renewed their endeavours to get possession of the ground they had been driven from, but they were repulsed on each occasion

111 the most spirited manlier, in the first instance by a detachment of the Fourth Foot, under Lieutenant Patrick Robertson, and a working party be- longing to the Fifty-seventh Regiment ; in the last instance, by the detach- ment of the Fourth Foot alone.

" Brigadier-General Eyre speaks in the highest terms of the conduct of these troops, and particularly that of Lieutenant Robertson, whose former distinguished service at the Cape, coupled with that he displayed in the pre- sent affair, fully entitles him to be considered an officer of much promise.

"There has been no movement of importance on the part of the enemy. The weather has been very bad, and the camp and the country are, in con- sequence of the rain, in a most unsatisfactory state.

The men are, however, endeavouring, and with some success, to shelter themselves with the stones that are found in the vicinity of the encamp- ment ; and every effort is making to provide them with the materials for hutting themselves ; but the condition of the roads renders this a matter of extreme difficulty.

"It is gratifying to me to be able to assure you, that notwithstandingtheir privations, their exposure to the weather, and the constant labour re- quired of them, they exhibit the same cheerfulness, the same ardour in the discharge of their duty, as they have manifested throughout the extensive operations in which they have been engaged. " I enclose the return of casualties up to the 26th instant inclusive. The defences of the Inkerman position, notwithstanding the frequent interruptions from the weather, are making considerable progress.

" I have, &c. RAGLAN."

Despatches are also published. from Admiral Dundee and Captain Car.

negie, giving an account of the capture and destruction of a large mar. tello tower, mounted with two guns, about ten miles North-west of Anapa, by the ships Tribune, Highflyer, and Lynx. This exploit was performed on the forenoon of Sunday the 12th November. The three ships anchored 900 yards from the beach, and soon compelled the garri- son to quit the tower. A party of marines and seamen then landed, and blew up the place. Unfortunately, Captain Moore of the Highflyer was slightly, and Lieutenant E. Smithett of the Tribune was severely wounded by the explosion. "The land-mg was effected without trouble; but the surf rose with such rapidity afterwards that it was with difficulty our boats were enabled to rejoin their ships," writes Captain Carnegie. General Canrobert to the French Minister at Wan

" Camp, Nov. 28.

" Monsieur le Marechal—The weather is improving -, a fact bearing close- ly upon our operations. A continual rain, and the bad state of the roads on the table-lands, where we are established, had considerably increased our difficulties in the conveyance of provisions and materiel. A little sunshine will soon remedy that evil, and we shall resume our labours with redoubled activity. The enemy on his side takes advantage of all these forced inter- ruptions in order to increase his means of defence, as we are able to perceive. Hitherto he has done his best to intimidate us, and never before was there seen such a consumption of powder and ball. Our artillery-officers calculate that they have fired off for this purpose, since our arrival before the walls of Sebastopol, 400,000 cannon-shots and 1,200,000 kilogrammes of powder. From this some conception may be formed of the stores that have long been accumulating in the place. We nevertheless observe that their artillery has become more economical, and that the discharge of hollow projectiles in par. ticular has much diminished. The number of our killed or wounded does not exceed 16 per day. " The army of Prince Mentehikoff keeps on the defensive. It covers its po- sitions with works defended by ship-guns; and it seems a settled thing that until fresh orders it has given up all intention of undertaking anything against us. In the mean time, our situation is improving in every respect. The reinforcements arrive ; and the condition of our regiments of Zouaves, like that of all those originally from Africa, is especially satisfactory. Our commissariat supplies have assumed large proportions, and I find myself this very day enabled to distribute among the troops a daily ration of wine or brandy. This is a very important point, which will prevent much illness, and keep up our effective strength. " Winter garments are also arriving, and already the hood and the sheep- skin peletot are common in our camps. The soldier will nobly and cou- rageously support the trial of the bad season when he thus sees himself the object of special care, evidencing so much anxiety for his situation on the part of the Emperor and his Ministers.

" The Tur kish Government has promised me 6000 conical tents, which are in great request here, on account of their resisting better than our own the very violent winds of these countries.

I can assure you, Marshal, that the army is getting to be singularly in- ured ; and you cannot imagine how our young folks, rapidly ripened by the peatness of the contest, are fast becoming old soldiers. It would have de- lighted you to see deployed lines remaining calm and immoveable under a fire of artillery which Lord Raglan declared to me was superior to what be had heard at Waterloo.

" I give you these details, because they cannot fail sensibly to interest you, and at the same time reassure you.

" The new Divisions will find here elder ones that will set them a good example.

" Deign to accept, &c."

TIIREEY.—Statements in confirmation of the reported movement of Omar Pasha upon Varna, with a view to reinforcing the Allied army in the Crimea, have come in. It is also asserted; on fair authority, that the Ottoman General has addressed a letter to all the Turkish Ministers, complaining that his army has been negleded; that it has received no pay for a year ; and that it is in want of the most necessary things. Rise Pasha, Minister of War, is said to owe a personal grudge to Omar Pasha, and has therefore neglected the army.

Gsaxernr.—The Germanic Diet has unanimously given its adhesion to the additional article of the treaty of 20th April; and has adopted with equal unanimity, as a general resolution, the Austro-Prussian joint propositions in reference thereto.

ITALY.—The Univers announces, that en the 10th instant, the Pope, officiating at St. Peter's, promulgated the decree which declares that the Immaculate Conception is an article of faith of the Church, and that whoever denies it is a heretic. It is added that two hundred bishops were present on the occasion, and that " Rome was intoxicated with joy.'

SPArri.—General O'Donnell has brought in a bill fixing the number of the infantry at 46,000, the cavalry at 12,000, the artillery at 10,000, and the engineers at 2000. He also proposes to establish a reserve of seventy-two battalions; and when these have been completed, the effective infantry is to be reduced to 36,000 men.

DENMARX.—The new Cabinet is now said to be formed as follows-

" M. von. Scheel, from Pinneborgen, Holstein, and ad interim for Foreign Affairs, in the absence of Count /queen, Envoy at Stockholm ; 11. P. G. Bang, former Minister of the Interior, and ad interim for Schleswig Professor Hall, Minister for Public Worship; Colonel Andra, Minister of Finance ; Colonel Luttichau, War Department; Commander Michelsen, Marine ; and M. Simony, former Minister of Public Instruction."

Lame AND CHINA.—The usual telegraphic summary of the contents of the overland mail was received on Thursday, from Trieste. The latest dates were—Bombay, 14th November ; Hongkong, 28th October. "Lord F. Fitzclarence, Commander-in-chief at Bombay, is dead. An en- voy from Kokan, and another from Dost Mahomed, have arrived in Pesha- wur, to ask for assistance from the British Government against the Russians, the Affghan chiefs having decided on an English in preference to a Russo- Persian alliance. Lord .lilphinstone is at Bombay, suffering from the effect of a sun-stroke. The price of opium has declined to 400 rupees in less than a year. The Governor-General was at Calcutta, but would leave for the Niigherries in March.

" The insurgent cause was gaining ground in North China."
